access restrictions

Access restrictions are controls put in place to limit who can view or use certain information, systems, or areas. They ensure sensitive data remains private and only authorized individuals can access it. These controls can include passwords, security tokens, or permissions set by administrators. For example, your email account has restrictions so only you can read your messages, while a company’s financial records are limited to authorized employees. Overall, access restrictions help protect information from unauthorized use, maintain security, and ensure compliance with privacy policies.
